If you were looking for yet another reason to justify Weird Al Yankovic’s awesomeness, look no further. On Comedy Central’s A Night of too Many Stars, he got up on stage to sing Yoda with Jodi DiPiazza and the Actionplay Chorus. The kids, all diagnosed with autism, did a flat-out awesome job, and obviously had a blast up on stage. …
Smartwatches: Are they worth your time?
So, I got a smart watch a few weeks ago after much debate with myself over what to buy, and whether or not I actually needed the thing to be “smart.” I ended up with a Pebble, and so far, it’s pretty freaking awesome. If you’re looking for a bulleted summary of this review (and don’t feel like reading about how I …
88% Awesome (maybe more): Guardians of the Galaxy review
There’s a line in the movie where Star Lord claims to have 12% of a plan. After watching the movie, I realize now why he only bothered with 12%. The other 88% of him was filled with awesome, so there was never any need to worry. You know what, I’d give The Guardians of the Galaxy at least a 95% awesome …
The Martian: what hard Sci-Fi should be (book review)
I actually got through this book a month or two ago, but, for some strange reason, didn’t bother writing a review of it. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, because this book DEFINITELY deserves the attention. Why? Because it was awesome; that’s why. Seriously, this book is fantastic, and, despite being an overly critical person, I would have to …
X-Men: What year is it anyway? (movie review)
My cousin, Tommy, told me not to bother seeing this movie. I’m glad that I didn’t listen to him (sorry Tommy). Four of us went, which included two not-so-nerdy wives. Everyone came out of the theater happy. Don’t get me wrong, the movie has some problems. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a movie that doesn’t have some flaw, and …
Star Wars vs Harry Potter (for your viewing pleasure)
I figure you all enjoy a bit of enjoyment.
Cosmos is kind of incredible
Neil, you are the man. If you ever happen to read my humble blog, please know that you’re one of my personal heroes, and I find the work you do (both in and out of a lab) to be truly world-changing. Why do I think all of that about Neil Degrasse Tyson? The man is on FOX–that’s right, the network …
Nerds rule the world (here’s proof)
This video was just too awesome not to post:
Read really, really fast
It completely blew my mind today when I saw a news report on Spritz, a new app that helps you read up to 1,000 words per minute (wpm). Yeah, 1,000. You could read a full length novel pretty damn quick at that speed. In fact, The Hobbit (which is 95,356 words) would only take you around 70 minutes. Wow. Curious? …
Thunderstruck!
Holy crap is this awesome! (I first saw this on Geeks are Sexy.) For reference’s sake, here’s the original:
